Let me say up front that I am a life-long Republican and conservative. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life and have voted in every presidential and midterm election since 1988. I have never in my life considered myself anything but a conservative. I am pained to admit that the conservative media and many conservatives’ reaction to Donald Trump has caused me to no longer consider myself part of the movement. I would suggest to you that if you have lost people like me, and I am not alone, you might want to reconsider your reaction to Donald Trump. Let me explain why. ......
Trump is not a conservative.
Bye
Trump is better than a RINO conservative, he is an United States first, people first nationalist.
Without Trump, we'd have another one of them.
His first mistake was thinking that it was a movement.
I think this may be his main point.
Thank you Mr. Rove. This propaganda is dirty trick lies. Don’t believe a word of these postings . They are contrived for money. IMO. Trump has gained millions of votes in the last 3 days because of this romney crap. Thank you mitt, now get lost. Go TRump!!
This what I am thinking-Conservatism does not work for Conservatives. It works for corporate interests who use it when it serves their purpose but only when it serves their purpose.
My reaction to Trump?
I will never be for someone who supported Nancy Pelosi.
I seriously doubt that you were ever a conservative if you are for someone who has backed Nancy Pelosi... Harry Reid... Hillary Clinton... The Senate Democrats...
You sound more like one of those Seminar Callers that Rush L. gets.
You know, the ones that say ‘I was a life long Republican but’... aNd then they go on to espouse an ultra liberal position.
BYE JOHN
Neither is the GOP.
Bye.
The Republican Party has become a “wolf” in sheep’s clothing.
This election cycle, they have been outed....
These open border thugs are losing subscribers and followers every time they pull their I am voting for the socialist/Hill.
May all of them find themselves unemployed when President Trump is sworn in.
Sure buddy, sure. You need to step away from the koolaid.
He is going to ‘make America ‘grate’ again’ by putting big Nancy back in the speaker chair.
Those two pretended to be conservative to get elected to the Senate, but they have accomplished nothing conservative.
In the Senate, Sessions is about the only conservative.

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Silly youngster. I remember the last 60 years and have voted in many more elections. You want disappointment? Try. Nixon and the idiocy of Watergate
Yes that is the same conclusion I Have come to.
Official conservativism also serves as a heat break.
The illusion of opposition.
The GOP has become a cluster f*** of knee-crawling, thumb-sucking, intellectually-inbred moral cowards that, as a political party, no longer serve any purpose other than to support and assist the destructionists and C4 (c***s, cowards, c***suckers and commiescum) of the DNC in their wrecking of the US.
